How glamorous is the life of a “Reliquary” model?
Glamorous enough to merit professional hair stylists and make up artists to put together our “Reliquary” look, which is always fun.
How do you calm your nerves before you strut down the runway?
Once the music starts everyone starts dancing which relaxes me. It’s entertaining to watch everyone dancing in line waiting to go out for the first time, and it loosens people up.
If you could strut your stuff to any music you wanted, what would be on the playlist?
Black Eyed Peas
How do you maintain that top-model physique?
I love running.
Favorite food?
Steak.
Do you have a post-show indulgence?
The after-party.
Guilty pleasures?
French fries and popcorn.
Describe your perfect date.
A nice dinner.
Are you a fashionista or just a pretty face?
A fashionista.
Are you involved in any clubs or associations at Penn?
I’m also in UPenn Ballet, which is a new group this year.
Do you have any athletic prowess?
I was on the track, soccer, and cross country varsity teams when I was in high school.
